Zhu Gaochi, who has been taught by Xu Jingchang face-to-face, seems to have learned top-level magic skills, and he urgently needs to show off his heroes, whether he can succeed or not, it depends on this time!

On the other side, Xu Jingchang was in a hurry, and did not rush to act, but called Wu Shan and asked him to inquire about the details of the envoys of the Hu Dynasty, and by the way, let this guy come to visit him.

Wu Shan took over the task, which is really not a big deal.

Soon he sent the news back, the envoy of the Hu Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty in Annan was called Hu Yuancheng, who was not only a clan relative, but also a Zuo Xiangguo, and his status in Annan was higher than Xu Jingchang, and he had the final say.

Sending him to the Ming Dynasty, it was clear that the Hu Dynasty attached great importance to the opinions of the Ming Dynasty.

In case Daming thinks that they are usurping the throne and Xingshi asks for the guilt, it will not be good.

At the beginning of the period, Hu Yuancheng's activities were very effective, the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Rites, as well as the officials of Honglu Temple, were warmly welcomed, and after hearing that Chen Dynasty had no queen, he also decided to canonize the Hu Dynasty as the lord.

However, recently, the remnants of the Chen Dynasty entered Beijing and explained the process of the Hu family's usurpation, and then Chen Tianping entered Beijing again and asked to meet Zhu Di to restore the Chen family.

All kinds of news were boiling, which made Hu Yuancheng very uneasy, for fear that the Ming Dynasty would send troops in anger and be ineffective against the Hu Dynasty.

Just when he was restless, someone sent him a letter, whether he wanted to meet the most powerful Duke of Dingguo in the Ming Dynasty, and asked him to help say something.

Dingguo Gong is a relative of the emperor, a top nobleman, in charge of the brocade guard, a confidant of the Son of Heaven, and he is one and the same.

Hu Yuancheng was overjoyed and came to meet Xu Jingchang.

And he also prepared a generous gift.

"Dingguo Gong, this is specially prepared for you in the next place, and I hope that Dingguo Gong can accept it."

Xu Jingchang just glanced at it, and saw the words 50,000 taels of gold and 20 buckets of pearls, and there were many more behind, Xu Jingchang didn't have time to look at them.

It's not exciting, it's fake, but let's have to be a little promising!

opened the gate of Annan, and there are mountains of gold and silver behind it!

Xu Jingchang grabbed the gift list and handed it directly to Hu Yuancheng.

"What we want to discuss is a major national matter, and if we only rely on private teaching, we can't talk about it." Xu Jingchang said: "There are some things that everyone knows. Now that the orphan of the Chen Dynasty has entered Beijing, and someone in the Ming Dynasty is ready to send troops to escort him back to Annan to restore the throne, what are you going to do?"

Hu Yuancheng was shocked, and his face changed suddenly.

"Don't believe one side of the word, that kid is clearly fake...... The Chen family is long dead, and there can be no descendants."

"Confused!" Xu Jingchang scolded, "You can't even understand this? Now it's not whether that kid is real or not...... It's what Da Ming thinks, Da Ming thinks he's fake, and what is true is also fake, Da Ming needs him to be real, and what is fake will become true, understand?"

Hu Yuancheng was dumbfounded, and cold sweat flowed down instantly, "Then, what should I do?" Will the kingdom of God crusade against Annam?"

Xu Jingchang smiled faintly, "Then it depends on what your country does!"

Hu Yuancheng would be mistaken, thinking that Xu Jingchang still wanted money, so he couldn't help but say: "My lord, I understand, double the list of gifts when you go back, I just ask you to say a few kind words for us in front of Your Majesty, I am grateful......

….

Xu Jingchang snorted coldly, "I said Hu Yuancheng, if you are still like this, we don't need to talk nonsense, you can hurry back to Annan now, and prepare to welcome 100,000 royal masters!"

"Ahh Hu Yuancheng's eyes were dark, almost fainting, how powerful the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty were, he didn't know that an army of 100,000 people, one person and a mouthful of foam, could drown Annan.

"Dingguo Gong, I am stupid, I really don't understand, I still hope for guidance, I am grateful, Annan is grateful."

Xu Jingchang said: "God has the virtue of a good life, I really can't bear to let your country's soldiers get into trouble...... The key now is that you have to contribute to Daming and make Daming realize your value. Let's put it bluntly, Da Ming is going to the Western Ocean, can you provide a port for the fleet to anchor and rest, and buy vegetables and grains?"

Hu Yuancheng is not stupid, "Dingguo Gong, covering the country."

It's small, I'm afraid it's not suitable."

"Hahaha!" Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "You don't want to go out, you have your own Wang Shi to take it personally, and it is not up to you to decide how much to take when the time comes."

Hu Yuancheng's heart was poked hard, "Shangguo wants to tear Annan? Although the country is small, the upper and lower people are also unwilling, and they are willing to fight to the death."

Xu Jingchang snorted, "What are you fighting? Have you been able to fight? Just rent, never encroach. How about giving you a sum of money every year, which is considered rent?"

Saying this, Hu Yuancheng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say, "This is a good thing, I agreed to it, and it will only be this rent?"

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Let me talk about this below, I promise that I won't let you suffer...... By the way, our fleet will be carrying a lot of cargo, would you be interested in eating some of it?"

Hu Yuancheng was puzzled: "What does Dingguo Gong mean?"

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Da Ming is repairing at your place, so he will naturally give you some cheapness. You can buy the goods and resell them to the interior of your country, or other countries, and the rich guys can make money together?"

Hu Yuancheng was overjoyed, and nodded hurriedly, "This is even more good, to be able to make a fortune with the kingdom, and the country can't ask for it."

Xu Jingchang said: "Next is some small things, I am facilitating trade, I plan to set up a school, you can send smart and beautiful young people to come and learn, language, arithmetic, and some laws and regulations, in short, with them, you will not suffer."

The more Hu Yuancheng listened, the happier he became, what kind of conditions are this talking about, it's just feeding food to his mouth.

"Thank you Dingguo Gong for your great kindness, thank you Dingguo Gong!"

Xu Jingchang waved his hand, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me first...... I also know that you have just established the country, the remnants of the Chen family are still there, and the country is not peaceful. Let you make some money and get some benefits, but also to help you suppress bandits. Your country must ensure that in the places bordering the Ming Dynasty, no swords can be raised, no Ming border people can be killed, and no Daming County can be invaded. If I can't do this, the Ming King will definitely crusade, and I won't be able to control it at that time. Of course, if it is too difficult to suppress the bandits, we can also provide some weapons, knives and guns to assist your country in training its troops and help you quell the rebellion."

Hu Yuancheng simply danced with his hands and was overjoyed.

The Hu clan has just usurped the country, and urgently needs the Ming to admit and appease the rebellion in the country, and now the Ming not only admitted, but also gave them weapons and let them make money, this kind of good thing, I dare not dream of it.

….

"Dingguo Gong, there is nothing to repay the country, in the next, in the next willing to send Dingguo Gong thousands of acres of fertile land, right next to the port."

Xu Jingchang finally showed a smile on his face, still the kind of spring blossoms, "Hu Xiangguo, if you want, you can send your own children to Yingtian, I happen to have a school over there, let them be familiar with the situation, and you will naturally benefit from it in the future."

The two quickly reached an agreement, and Xu Jingchang drew up a draft agreement, which also let Hu Yuancheng read it carefully...... Of course, there is no need to write about the private transaction between the two of them later.

"Hu Xiangguogong, for the country and the people, we people, it's really not easy. I have to worry about being tired all day long, but the courtiers still don't understand, it's difficult!"

Hu Yuancheng smiled and said: "Dingguo Gong is in a high position, he is full of words, he is really a five-body throw, and if Dingguo Gong has any orders in the future, he will do his best in Xia."

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "It would be nice if all the vassal states could be as smart as you, such as that Zhancheng, who is quite disobedient, and often takes some tattered local products to defraud the Ming Dynasty's money, which is really hateful."

Hu Yuancheng's heart was pounding, what does this mean?

Could it be a hint that we can do something against Champa?

If that's the case, that's great!

……

"Father, now that the Hu clan has established the country, he has accepted the canonization, and the country of Annan has been decided. We wish we had done something, but now it's too late. Speaking of which, it's still to blame the Ministry of Rites for not seeing through the details, and they should be held accountable."

Zhu Gaochi has already used the fourth stage.

Zhu Di didn't like to listen to it, "It's just a small country, and I'm fighting against it, and it's just a snap of my fingers. The book of the military department, you look at this

How much does it cost to send troops at once?"

Liu Jun immediately said, "If you go back to Your Majesty, it will only cost 500,000 taels!"

Zhu Gaochi immediately said, "Father, this is nonsense...... In the land of smoke and miasma in Annam, the soldiers and horses passed, and it was easy to be unadaptable, and the loss of 100,000 soldiers and horses was 30,000. With so many losses, how to appease? How to take care of the orphans of the dead and wounded? I'm afraid that a few and a half million taels won't be enough."

Liu Jun said with a tense face: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Annan Hu clan, usurped the throne and corrupted Gangchang, if the vassal kingdoms are like them, wouldn't it be a great chaos in the world?" The Ming Dynasty is a dignified teacher, crusading against the ministers, and when the time comes, Annan will definitely respond like a cloud, win food and follow. How can there be casualties, and how can the cost be too great? This is an excellent opportunity for our emperor to achieve great things, declare his prestige in a foreign land, and raise the prestige of tomorrow, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what is the purpose of such obstruction?"

"For the sake of the people of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Gao was anxious, "You people are sitting in Yingtian, blindly talking, and you don't know the hardships of the march. I don't know the feelings of the people in Annan, this will lead to misunderstanding!"

Liu Jun continued: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you are inevitably benevolent and weak, with Your Majesty's eloquence, the courage of the Ming soldiers, and the occupation of people's morale, you will definitely win the battle when you send troops to fight, so how can you talk about misleading the country?"

At this time, Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Criminal Department, also stood up, "Your Majesty, the Hu family is arrogant, and he dares to usurp the throne and seize power, which is really hateful, and if he does not crusade, it is not enough to demonstrate the power of the heavens, and the minister also seconded it."

Later, Wu Zhong, the imperial historian of the left capital, also stood up, "It is the duty of the Son of Heaven to play Your Majesty and maintain the Compendium, and this battle is smooth and invincible!"

Zhu Gaochi is stumbling, and he really can't parry.

The key is still his father, Zhu Di is like a restless teenager, and he urgently needs to prove himself with military exploits.

The four-stage tactics didn't work either.

And at this time, Hou Xian came in and whispered a few words in Zhu Di's ear, Zhu Di nodded, and then Xu Jingchang came in.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something here, if nothing else, it can increase the income of more than two million taels, please take a look."
